DSNAME - Christmas special - Maritime accidents
2024-12-09 17:00 - 20:00 | IDA, Ingeniørforeningen, 31 Kalvebod Brygge, Copenhagen, 1560, Denmark
Join us for this special Christmas event, giving very insightful knowledge to maritime accidents.
Marine accidents and incidents can happen at any time. They are rarely caused by a single event, but instead usually trigged by several factors that could be totally unrelated, often occurring over a lengthy period due to failure of safety barriers and risk prevention measures in place.
The maritime industry, and not only in Denmark, has a long standing tradition making use of the insights and lessons learned from the comprehensive reports issued by the national Marine Accident Investigation Board, following the most serious cases.
During the event we will delve deeper into the complex subject, before the traditional Christmas “æbleskiver” being served.

Retrofit for energy efficiency and decarbonisation
2025-03-24 17:00 - 20:00 | IDA, Ingeniørforeningen, 31 Kalvebod Brygge, Copenhagen, 1560, Denmark
The transition of the global fleet to lower greenhouse gas emissions is a significant challenge.
Beyond the difficulties in securing the necessary new fuels, shipping companies face complex and critical decisions within a short timeframe. They must determine the best way to adapt or renew their vessels. Since ships typically have a lifespan of 20–25 years, the transition cannot rely solely on replacing vessels as older ones are phased out and scrapped. There will also be a need to retrofit part of the existing fleet.
The decision on whether retrofitting a ship is worthwhile is often based on the payback period. However, including the climate accounting for the two options—retrofit or newbuild—can provide a different perspective. Retrofitting existing ships, for example, from diesel engines to run on gas or methanol, has so far only been implemented to a limited extent. This is due to both the high costs and the technical challenges involved in the process.
This evening’s session will explore the retrofit of a ship from diesel to methanol operation, featuring insights from both the shipping company and the engine manufacturer.
You will also be introduced to an innovative tool designed to help shipping companies evaluate the climate impact of retrofitting an existing vessel versus constructing a new one. We’ll discuss how this tool has been applied in real-world decision-making within a shipping company, offering practical insights into its effectiveness.
Finally, we will delve into an empirical study examining the performance of energy efficiency technologies retrofitted on containerships, providing valuable data and analysis on their impact on operational efficiency.

Denmark is 40 years ahead of other Navies in using and integrating modularity in Naval operations.
All naval thinking these days is that a modular approach will ensure warships that can stay updated, relevant, and able to deliver the needed naval effects in the foreseen unstable world with no or very little warning from peace to war.
Denmark can be a European/NATO HUB for establishing and using an architecture based on modularity – ensuring more naval effect, in country know how and growth of maritime industry.

Since 2021, Bjarke Wiehe Bøtcher have served as Director of International Affairs at industry association Danish Maritime. In this capacity he provides assistance to approx. 170 member companies of the industry association specializing in trade policy and the facilitation of exports. He is responsible for fostering external relations and forging partnerships with governmental bodies and foreign industry associations, including Danish Maritime´s active participation in SEA Europe – the Shipyard´s and Maritime Equipment Association of Europe.
